TV Trailers of the Week: House of the Dragon: Season 3, Imperfect Women, The Hunt and More
📺 Take a peek at some of the latest trailers for upcoming TV shows.
📺 “House of the Dragon: Season 3” Teaser: Emma D’Arcy, Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, and Ewan Mitchell Return as Westeros Edges Toward Total Annihilation — Debuting This June on HBO
With A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms coming to a close this weekend with the final episode of its inaugural season, HBO wants to remind Game of Thrones fans they’ll only have to wait a few more months before getting another dose of their Westeros fix. Sadly, House of the Dragon: Season 3 will mark the penultimate chapter of this current GoT saga, as the Targaryen civil war rages in full force. But Westeros was never built for peace. It was built for conquest. And if a Targaryen is sitting on the throne, then it’s only a matter of time before everything goes up in flames.
Following the events of last season, House of the Dragon picks up with the realm splintering like never before, and the Dance of the Dragons edging closer to total annihilation. With the kingdom now in open war and the Iron Throne under the control of Aemond Targaryen (played with icy menace by Ewan Mitchell), power has shifted decisively to the Greens. After striking down his own brother, Aemond doesn’t just claim authority... he tightens his grip on it.
Meanwhile, Alicent (Olivia Cooke) seems to recognize the monster her son has become, quietly aligning herself with embattled queen Rhaenyra (Emma D’Arcy), who is now locked in a desperate bid to reclaim the Red Keep and restore some fragile sense of order to a realm tearing itself apart. As everyone prepares, and in some cases actively pushes for war, Rhaenyra still clings to the fragile hope that the realm can be unified without burning it to the ground. Little does she know, Westeros has never rewarded mercy; only strength, and the willingness to use it. In order for her to be a true queen, she must learn these traits... and she’ll have to learn them fast.
With showrunner Ryan Condal signaling that the fourth season (set for 2028!) will be the last, this penultimate chapter feels like the point of no return. The long-promised Battle of the Gullet (one of the bloodiest sea conflicts in George R. R. Martin’s Fire & Blood) finally appears ready to roar to life this season. So expect plenty of fire, saltwater, and dragonflame lighting up the Narrow Sea.
So if the early seasons were about positioning, this one is about execution. And the Throne has never felt closer... yet somehow further away.
Also returning are Matt Smith as Daemon Targaryen, Rhys Ifans as Otto Hightower, Steve Toussaint as Corlys Velaryon, and Sonoya Mizuno as Mysaria, among others. Season 3 arrives this June on HBO and Max. Just in time to make this summer a little more combustible.
📺 “Imperfect Women” Trailer: Elisabeth Moss, Kerry Washington, and Kate Mara Star as Lifelong Friends Torn Apart by Murder in This New Psychological Mystery-Thriller Series — Premiering Wed, March 18th on Apple TV
Three friends. One body. A murder investigation that proves some friendships were never built to survive the truth.
Based on Araminta Hall’s best-selling novel, Imperfect Women is a new psychological mystery-thriller series starring two-time Emmy winner Elisabeth Moss (The Handmaid’s Tale), Emmy nominee Kerry Washington (Scandal), and Emmy nominee Kate Mara (House of Cards) as three longtime friends whose bond is shattered when one of them is found dead and the other two are implicated in the crime.
Also starring Joel Kinnaman and Corey Stoll as two of the women’s significant others, the limited series peels back decades of shared history, exposing the quiet compromises, buried resentments, and unspoken betrayals that have been sitting just beneath the surface. As the murder investigation begins connecting dots, each woman is forced to confront how much of her loyalty was built on lies rather than truth.
Created by Annie Weisman, who previously spearheaded the Rose Byrne–starring ’80s-set fitness series Physical, this new Apple original has assembled an impressive ensemble for a mystery told in fractured flashbacks, as each woman at the center recounts her version of events. When long-buried secrets are quietly revealed, they must confront how well they ever truly knew one another... and whether their loyalty was just a carefully curated illusion waiting to crack.
Imperfect Women is slated to debut Wednesday, March 18th on Apple TV.
📺 “The Hunt” Trailer: Benoît Magimel Stars as a Hunter Who Becomes the Hunted in Cédric Anger’s French Thriller Miniseries with Mélanie Laurent — Arriving Wed, March 4th on Apple TV
There was a time when French cinema was considered long, existential character dramas set against smoky cafés and filled with sunglasses- and turtleneck-wearing beatnik philosophers dissecting love, politics, and the meaning of existence between sips of coffee and quick drags from their cigarettes. Fast forward to now, and French entertainment isn’t all that dissimilar from American thrillers. Case in point: The Hunt.
This new French-language miniseries features renowned French star Benoît Magimel (The Piano Teacher) as Franck, a man who heads into the woods with longtime friends for a hunting trip, only to stumble into a violent confrontation with a rival group that leaves one man shot dead. What should have ended with a police report and Franck coming clean that he acted in self-defense instead spirals into something far more reckless: the men make a pact to never speak of the incident again. It turns out to be the worst decision they ever made, as the fallout follows them home.
As Franck and his wife Krystel (played by Inglourious Basterds star Mélanie Laurent) begin to sense that someone is watching them… or tracking their every move, the paranoia no longer feels imagined. It feels very real as Franck and his friends start finding clues left on their doorsteps, indicating they are actually being hunted. It’s payback for what Franck did in those woods. And this time, he won’t be able to hide from the consequences, as he soon learns that guilt has a way of hunting the hunter.
Written, directed, and created by acclaimed French filmmaker Cédric Anger (Next Time I’ll Aim for the Heart, The Killer), the six-episode thriller looks less like a straight survival story and more like a study in escalating dread, as the line between predator and prey grows thinner by the day from the moment that fatal shot rang out in the woods. Because the moment you try to hide the truth, it starts tracking you instead.
The Hunt is scheduled to premiere Wednesday, March 4th on Apple TV.
📺 “The Faithful: Women of the Bible” Trailer: Minnie Driver & Alexa Davalos Navigate Faith and Destiny in This Three-Part Easter Event — Premiering Sun, March 22nd on FOX and FOX One, Streaming Next Day on Hulu
This Easter comes a new biblical epic that dramatizes the Book of Genesis as a character-driven saga about five women navigating power, promise, and peril in a patriarchal world. Starring Minnie Driver, Alexa Davalos, Millie Brady, Natacha Karam, and Blu Hunt, alongside Burn Notice’s Jeffrey Donovan and The Walking Dead’s Tom Payne, the three-part miniseries unfolds through the eyes of some of the Bible’s most influential women: Sarah (Driver), Hagar (Karam), Rebekah (Davalos), Leah (Brady), and Rachel (Hunt). As generational tensions mount and sacrifices demand everything, the choices these women make will reshape the future of their families and the very foundation of faith itself. This three-week television event builds toward a question that still echoes today: what does it cost to trust in something larger than yourself when nothing is guaranteed?
📺 “Strip Law” Trailer: Adam Scott Voices a Buttoned-Up Vegas Lawyer Forced into Showbiz Justice in This New Irreverent Animated Comedy Series — Streaming Now on Netflix
Order in the court! More like disorder in the court. Adam Scott voices Lincoln Gumb, an uptight, rules-obsessed lawyer forced to team up with a flashy Las Vegas magician, voiced by Abbott Elementary standout Janelle James, turning the city’s most laughable legal disputes into full-blown spectacles. Stephen Root rounds out this irreverent adult animated comedy that leans hard into absurd cases, ego clashes, and courtroom strategy that feels more like a magic act than legislation. Created by Cullen Crawford, this Netflix series treats the justice system less like a sacred institution and more like a stage begging for a spotlight. In a town built on illusion and sin, the only way to serve justice is to treat the law like performance art.
📺 “Deadloch: Season 2” Trailer: Kate Box & Madeleine Sami Head Into Crocodile Country for a Murder Case Gone Wild in the New Season of the Aussie Crime Comedy — Premiering Fri, March 20th on Prime Video
Australian actress Kate Box and New Zealand comedienne Madeleine Sami return as mismatched detectives Dulcie Collins and Eddie Redcliffe, trading coastal noir for sticky Top End mayhem in this sharp Australian crime comedy, back next month for its second season. What begins as a personal investigation into Eddie’s former partner’s death spirals when a dismembered body surfaces in Barra Creek, dragging them deep into crocodile country and a town thick with suspicion. As missing backpackers and territorial locals crowd the investigation, the duo’s partnership is tested by heat, history, and secrets no one wants uncovered. With returning favorites and new faces like Luke Hemsworth joining the chaotic fun, this new season raises the stakes without losing its bite. Because when things go this sideways Down Under, someone’s bound to end up six feet under.

Created by Hannah Carroll Chapman, this irreverent Australian coming-of-age series closes its run by pushing its messy, self-aware voice into senior-year overdrive. Set during the final year before graduation, the closing season turns prank culture, rekindled romance, and buried secrets into a reckoning about identity and consequence in a hyperconnected world. Ayesha Madon leads an ensemble of rising talents, including Thomas Weatherall, Bryn Chapman Parish, Asher Yasbincek, James Majoos, Chloé Hayden, and Will McDonald, as friendships strain and reputations wobble under the pressure of adulthood inching closer. In its final stretch, this teen dramedy treats growing up not as a neat milestone, but as confronting your issues head-on to finally move forward.
